Darling: Run Apple OS X Binaries On Linux

Posted by Soulskill on from the sure-thing-sweetheart dept.

An anonymous reader writes "After having Wine to run Windows binaries on Linux, there is now the Darling Project that allows users to run unmodified Apple OS X binaries on Linux. The project builds upon GNUstep and has built the various frameworks/libraries to be binary compatible with OSX/Darwin. The project is still being worked on as part of an academic thesis but is already running basic OS X programs."

    no? damn

    Well, neither does the current Mac OS X. So it is fully compatible in that regard.

    I guess if we can run Mail.app the issue of crappy email clients on Linux is solved.
